Ockham! Great post! The dreaming Cuttlefish is an interesting story
t. There was a Philip K. Dick story called "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" made into the Ridley Scott movie- "Blade Runner." "Do Cuttlefish Dream of Swimming Sheep?"
What if we started a render thread-so everyone COULD see your dreams?

The continuity aspect is interesting! It would be interesting if you were to write it down. You've inspired me! A thead with rendered dreams is a cool idea.
I just work up-so some of my dreams are still in my memory. I can't quite see how to make the following into a coherent story though. :-)
My dreams tend towards Supernatural and SciFi themes. Most recently (this AM) I was watching someone inside a walled garden when an Eye on a flexible metal stalk protruded from the wall-and disintegrated the other person-I was then running for my life (the eye was shooting beams at me) -jumped in a nearlby parked spaceship- and ended up shooting down a bunch of enemy ships that the "eye" sent after me.

Then I was late for an interview at a biotech company which was on "tenth street"-unfortunately. I could not find tenth in my car-so I levitated myself and floated over the buildings in the way.When I got there-instead of going into a usual office building I had to enter an enormous metal hatch...but I had to hack into a computer and figure out the code to get the door to open- a little like the game "Fallout". The interview went well-except all of my data sheets fell on the floor and the order got scrambled.
In real life I am a scientist in a biotech - (although so far) I have not been able to levitate! :-)
The only recurring them I have is that when I am levitating/flying no one can usually SEE me. Although I did finally get some people to notice.
My dreams are almost always weird-but rarely frightening.
Quote - If everyone could see my dreams, they'd have the shit scared right out of them. No kidding. Most of my dreams are weird, many are very unpleasant and a great number are outright terrifying.
Odd thing is, there's a kind of continuity running through most of them. I could draw a map of the place I live in when I dream. Maybe I should write some stories. I did a render once but it didn't really get to the heart of things.
